Hi, Guys !

Update of the last post !

My question ! What steps I should work?

  • Put track bed;
  • Works in power distribution for track and switches;
  • Works in my Bridge 

 

 

I like those steps - roadbed down - then, you may have put holes in roadbed for wiring - therefore, wiring next or do you mean that you are going put ballast (stones) down now and the track is already on the roadbed? If that what you will do next- then connect the wiring first - and then apply the ballast.

I am not sure what you need to do for the bridge- are you speaking of the trestle curve?

Great progress!

yes, indeed! That is a nice trestle!

I prefer the open stringers with the track ties on top - it's a scary look down through the track.

Decks on the stringers are prototypical, so no problem with that - especially after all of that routing.

Carl, I also prefer!
But I made a biggest trestle for both tracks external and internal, so I 'm going to have others small trestle only internal track and therefore I had to made a biggest trestle !

I would recommend 7 inches or 17.78cm from the lower track railhead to the bottom of the overpass wood.

You can have less if it is not available. Measure the height of the tallest engine or car that you have. That will be the limit. 

Double stacked container cars and auto rack (carrier) cars tend to be the tallest.

I am sorry that I didn't comment on the trestles - I had a loss in the family and the holidays were a bit tough. The result looks really great!
